NASA Announces First All-Female Spacewalk After Previous One Canceled

After a small setback due to a lack of a medium-sized spacesuit, NASA announced that the first all-female spacewalk will commence later this month.

“NASA announced Friday that the International Space Station’s two women will pair up for a spacewalk later this month,” reports Fox News. “Astronauts Christina Koch and the newly arrived Jessica Meir will venture out Oct. 21 to plug in new, upgraded batteries for the solar power system. It will be the fourth of five spacewalks for battery work. The first is Sunday; Koch will go out with Andrew Morgan.”
